Glycolic Acid 70% Liquid – 100g – AHA Exfoliating Active for Skin Renewal

Glycolic Acid 70% Liquid – 100g – AHA Exfoliating Active for Skin Renewal – Powerful AHA for Skin Resurfacing & Glow

Description

Glycolic Acid 70% Liquid is a highly concentrated alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar sources. It is widely used in professional cosmetic formulations for exfoliation, skin resurfacing, tone improvement, and texture refinement.

Due to its small molecular size, glycolic acid penetrates the skin efficiently, helping to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, reduce dullness, and promote cell turnover. This high-strength concentration is intended for controlled dilution and use by experienced formulators only.

When applied to the skin: Glycolic acid is likely safe when used in products containing concentrations of 10% glycolic acid or less.

Using high concentration products inappropriately can cause serious skin reactions.
